In the case of Newman it was only a squabble, only a row, a fight that it began with; but what was it finish ed up with ?

The harbour works at Madras are making steady progress, the expenditure to end uf May having amounted to Rs 27,39,764, and from local reports, there was good work to show for this ontlay. A late storm has unsettled the foundations somewhat, but not to the extent expected by the engineers from the nature of the work. Were the work solid masonry, executed with the help of coffer dams, the shaking of the foundations would be fatal to success; but the blocks composing the breakwater being dropped int their places so as to form a sort of quas natural wall, it was to be expected that they would get moved about a little by storm agitations. We trust the work will be carried to success, as Madras sadly wants a harb ur.
